Ultra Rare Prog LP, Philips Credit, Stunning Audio!!!

 "Cressida were a British progressive rock band, best known for their mellow, symphonic sound. Originally known as Charge, they were active from 1968 to 1970, and recorded two albums for Vertigo."

The band's early setlists included covers of songs by The Doors, The Drifters and Spirit, alongside original compositions by Cullen and Heyworth. In the Summer of 1969, shortly after returning from a German tour, the band's organist Lol Coker decided to leave, and moved back to Liverpool to marry his Swiss girlfriend and take over his father's business. He had stayed just long enough to play on the band's first demo, which got them a recording contract with Vertigo Records.Peter Jennings then joined. "I was auditioned at the Roebuck pub in Chiswick, a place they sometimes used for rehearsals", he later remembered. "I imagine we ran through a 12-bar or two and possibly they tried me out on one of the numbers from their set, but anyway they liked the way I fitted in and I joined them that day". Jennings' previous musical experience included blues gigs playing 12-string guitar in tandem with ex-Paramounts pianist Andy Staines, and (in 1968–69) White Rabbit with drummer Ron Berg and guitarist Andy Rickell (a.k.a. Android Funnel). After White Rabbit came to an end, Jennings played with several short-lived bands.

Cleaning / Postage & Packaging

Every record we send out is fully cleaned, first using a carbon brush to remove any dust, then with a recently upgraded Loricraft record cleaner using a four-step process consisting of an active enzyme cleaner, premixed vinyl cleaner, ultra-pure water rinse solution and finishing with a high resolution rinse - each step has its own dedicated brush. This process gets down deeper into the grooves and removes any contaminants. The improvement in the sound is startling. It is then placed in a brand new liner (original liner is always included if present) and then packaged in a record mailer (including stiffeners) with the vinyl placed in a separate sleeve, it is then encased in the highest quality plastic outer sleeve to keep it as clean as possible. We aim to despatch within 2-3 working days.
